    Hi Smoopy's mom,

    Could you try launching Reader as an administrator and try printing again? Does that work?

    You may refer to the steps given in this link on how to: Run an Adobe program as administrator | Windows 7, Vista

    Also, let us know the error message you are getting when trying to print pdfs in Reader.

    Thank You,

    Shivam

    Hi Smoopy's mom,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    You could also try following troubleshooting steps:

    1- Try repairing Reader using "Repair installation" option under Help menu, reboot the machine after repair and check if that helps.

    2- Disabling protected Mode by clicking > Edit > Preferences > under Categories, click Security (Enhanced) > uncheck the box next to Enable Protected Mode at startup > click OK and check.

    Please note: disabling protected mode is for troubleshooting purpose only, and not recommended. Please turn the feature back on after troubleshooting is complete.

    3- Also, try creating a new user account on Windows, login into the account and launch Reader from there.

    Thanks,

    Shivam
